If you use the pen to write notes much at all then the file size will grow disproportionately and it will eventually corrupt your files.

I use this product everyday on my Surface. I'm used to be able to scroll and zoom in/out with my fingers, while drawing with the surface pen. Something changed today and now when I try to scroll or zoom by finger touch it instead draws a line. Can you help?

Was looking into buying this after I tried it for signing PDF documents, then read all the reviews about the subscription payment model. $10 was an OK price to pay, but not $10 per year. I can't tell if the purchase is one-time or a subscription actually, but not taking that chance since it is not clear. Maybe it is a subscription to account for PDFs changing over time, but $10 is a bit steep per year.

One of the main reasons I got a Surface was so I could read scientific papers on it and mark it up with notes with the surface pen like I did with paper. Drawboard PDF allows me to do this very easily and I really love it.

I have used a convertible PC to give notes to my class for a decade now (back then it was a "tablet"). For a long time Windows Journal was my only good option for annotating, but I was forced to find something else when Windows cut support for Journal. I am glad I changed, because this is a much better program. I cannot speak to those who need to use it for more intensive activities, but it works great in my classroom, and students like to write answers for worksheets on my Surface. Yes, there could be tweaks to the interface, and being able to have multiple windows would be nice, but overall I recommend it highly.

That's just ridiculous. Looking for a new app now.

This program corrupts your documents! Stay AWAY! Your corrupted file will become useless (cant even read or open files)! And what makes it worse is that I am a PRO Drawboard user - and this is an absolutely ridiculous experience. This was the one program I thought was at a somewhat decent standard.
Say what you want to about Mac OS, but at least the data is reliably accessible.
